Happy Halloween from Sermo

We take a lot of things seriously here at Sermo. Medicine is about saving lives and improving patient outcomes and our doctors are focused on that all day, every day. But, every once in a while they like to have a little fun and Halloween is a great excuse to ask our doctors a silly question and enjoy some medical humor.

If you could have one organ in a jar on your desk, what would it be? The results:

41% brains

27% heart

22% eyeballs

5% kidneys

3% tongue

3% liver

85% brains

Not only does this show our doctors sense of humor, but it shows their loyalty to their specialties as well. In fact, when we polled them recently, we found that physicians would choose their specialty all over again.
